You will have to contact hospitals yourself however even if your L2 expires you will not be able to stay in the US whilst waiting for greencard application to be processed due to retrogression.

If you are L2 visa, I take it your spouse is on L1? You say your visa expires next year.....is your spouse (or his company) not planning to apply for a renewal / extension then? Also, many companies who hire L1 employees go on to file for their green cards. So you have options that you need to look into.

Most of the areas of CA aren't looking to sponsor anybody because they have plenty of qualified permanent residents/citizens to choose from. So it all depends on which areas you're looking at. It's not cost effective at the moment to hire foreigners.
